Any YUNOhost people here? What are your thoughts about it? Does it fulfil it’s purpose of broadening accessibility to self-hosting? Is it secure? Interested to hear what you think.

    It’s the best self-hosting software I’ve used. But it lacks mountains of documentation, configuration, file manager, terminal, and no way to create containers WITHOUT exposing them to the web.

    Also some of their software becomes badly dated (like Lemmy).

    But for the most part it’s super easy deployment for stuff you want exposed.

    If I remember correctly, I think I tried running Lemmy using Yunohost about a year ago. I don’t remember exactly how it went, but I don’t think I was successful. It was probably my fault since Lemmy has a few moving parts.

    At the end of the day, I just prefer containers and run all of my stuff in Docker.

    I like the idea of Yunohost, but I wonder if it’s geared towards people who prefer to run things on bare metal… and that type of person doesn’t usually need a helper script type of solution.

    It’s a great entry point for Self Hosting. I learned a lot with it about hard to grasp concepts.

    Used it for years until I felt ready to move on to Docker.

    I think Yunohost is great. It was easier for me to set up that trying to figure out Docker. I run a few sites including AdGuard Home as well as personal Pixelfed and Lemmy instances with it in a VM on an older Ubuntu box. That said, I’m stuck on Lemmy 0.18.2 without pict-rs because the update script to the latest version available on Yunohost (0.18.3 with pict-rs) is broken. Oh well!

      Yep, great project, was so easy to install and maintain with Debian 11 on a TinyPC. Works fine for me and my family, private data and business. Working with Yunohost, Nextcloud, SyncThing.
